Are you saying that it is backed by statistics that good CEOs need to be good managers of people and also implying that engineers are not good managers of people? I would be interested in seeing that statistics.

It feels wrong to me. In fact, I would argue that in tech the opposite is true. Go watch 'Downfall',the documentary on Netflix about Boeing and what happened when they dropped their engineering ethos and let in the "people persons" there.

Google is a textbook example of both enshittification and rot.
